Road Closure at North Main St. & Mulberry St. Due to Sinkhole

UPDATE: We’re told a sewer line break is to blame for the sinkhole and could take 3-5 days to patch the pipe and then repave. We’ll continue to keep you updated once we get a better timeline. Rockford’s Public Works Department tells us this sinkhole is not a result of heavy rains.
